OK, though slowness per se is not the issue--as I guess you noticed.

"Even" in earlier versions? Assuming your words are carefully chosen, 
that implies that 1.3.5 is *slower*. If so, that's very bad. As books 
go, 160 pages isn't particularly big, and 30 is tiny. I really hope 
there is a solution to that problem on the horizon.

Anyway, if there's no simple fix, I suppose I can split the book up a bit.
